ANTIQUE! 5 lbs ThredUp Jewelry Unboxing | Goodwill Blue Box Jewelry Jar Haul to Resell on Ebay 2020

[@Zelma406]

For the feathers, I take a very cheap hair straightener and use that on the feathers. For one it sanitized and 2 it will help the feathers stick together again and make them look new. :D

[@nativejediprincess2133]

Feathers are hawt right now- think Joe Exotic! ;)

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

I once bought (from China) what should be 925 sterling silver, but it for sure wasn’t. Said 925 though...

[@novembersantana8280]

Your channel was suggested to me about a week ago and I clicked a video and watched through, now my husband and I have been playing all your videos in the background while we clean or cook or play games and we've both agreed that your content is so relaxing and fun... Then we hear "you would hide the drugs in there" and we both cracked up laughing. You, my dear, are a new favorite in our house. Thank you for making this content :D

[@KristenDanotherchanceresale]

Video idea: how to describe jewelry for listings

[@talena0726]

And testing her test pile!

[@samanthajo491]

I was thinking about that the other day. I recently started stocking jewelry to sell. I pondered the idea of doing a KZbin video, but the thought of trying to describe different, say, stones and clays...yikes!

[@KristenDanotherchanceresale]

The Exalted Emerald yes!

[@GoFarFarAway.]

Excellent suggestion :)

[@charrussell5774]

something that might help newer people is showing how you research jewelry, how you find names from signatures or look up tags, how you find out what those things sell for, as i'm typing this i'm thinking jeez char she's probably got videos on those things because that's just the kind of thing she'd have done lol. how bout a video on common mistakes to avoid when selling? anything with feathers or thread tassels get labeled used cat toys, nice C for char lol. yes the deer is def older than the 30's i'd say, very nice. this is a really nice box, i think there was a shipping mistake and it was supposed to come to my house... hand it over, lol.

[@MyDiane1956]

Everyone should send a piece of jewellery they don't wear any more. We're in this together. And we need your videos.

[@debs7368]

Things That Matter That’s a great idea!

[@kell5674]

Great idea !!

[@thegingerwitch322]

I would love a video referencing all the things you said "I will have to look it up". It would be really nice to find out what these things actually were

[@trace-elementz1343]

The 925 key pendant @ 9:45 -- I would fix it and I use G-S Hypo Cement, buy on eBay. It has a tiny, tiny nozzle for replacing little stones. Best glue for jewelry! That size and color of stone for replacement is an easy fix; just harvest from a piece going to a craft jar. Love the deer @ 12:45, & the thread thru pearls @ 32:45 & Majorica pearls, Love the music interludes!!!! TY, Texas Gal, XO!!!!

[@justkibby5959]

Your whole channel could be just jewelry unboxing and I would watch every single video. That blue owl is sooooooo freaking cute!

[@sewingbeecostumes2399]

The starfish necklace looks like a dupe of the Tiffany and co Elsa Peretti starfish pendant!

[@plethoraofnaturexoxo2352]

I had the exact same starfish necklace, had it looked at and it was sterling silver plated with a base metal underneath.

[@Imjessicabrooks]

yes, you see either a push pinhead or toothpick and e600 to glue the crystals. lots of great easy tutorials :)

[@tigerlily2210]

I think you should continue the series of videos on what brand of costume jewelry to look out for, toys that are a good source for resell, mugs too. I think people need to be resourceful in these times like I have started to look on eBay, mercari etc for things priced low that I can flip for a profit. Maybe you have ideas of other sourcing strategies.

[@donnacullman4103]

I think u should do a video about some of the jewelry u tested and what was the final verdict... I’d be interested in finding out what u find out about that starfish necklace and the deer.

[@leahclo4857]

I would absolutely love for you to take different kinds of jewelry, and explain what kind of key words you would use to list them.

[@silenceisg4903]

Hi TX Gal, let me start with the fact that I love your channel. I have just started getting into resale over the last 6 months and I have learned so much from watching you. If it wouldn't bore your long time subscribers to much I would love to see a video of the different resources you use. I always hear you say... I will have to check this site I use to....insert what ever your looking for here...it would be extremely helpful for any newbies that are watching to learn how you Pros do it.

[@BlankParty]

The deer brooch is from the 1970’s. The word on the bottom is likely Taxco.

[@JasmineSmith-xo2jc]

the deer broach is 1950's possibly earlier it does. say Mexico along with something else I couldn't make out on the back I found the same one on etsy for sale

[@donnaspahr5585]

Would love to see some of your sisters jewelry especially if it is for sale!!!

[@loriisvik7777]

Would love video about how to identify stones. Also types of chains named to use

[@julsjewels3185]

Thanks for a few laughs! Serious motor boating and sassy tassels!!!!!! DNA Lab, LOL!!!!!! Joi D art earrings are worth some coin!

[@tomeaceslittlemonkeys9280]

I learned a trick for replacing tiny stones/gems. Take a toothpick and put a little ball of clay or play dough on the end. It will stick to the top of the stone the. Apply the glue to the gem and the spot it’s going. Then place it and hold for a min. Cool thing is the clay doesn’t stick to the gem top 😉🙃 Hope that helps. I think it’s worth it if it’s a cool piece and only one or two things need to be done. Great video thanks 🥰

[@smittycat359]

Also, nail supply places like Sally's sell pencil shaped wax tipped gem picker uppers (it's used to place rhinestones on for nail art). For those who repair jewelry often, it would be a good inexpensive tool to have on hand.

[@sclerodermasmarter2742]

You got a winner of a box. BPD arrowhead alone pays back what you spent!!

[@otakuhalfling]

Hi Margaret, I’m pretty sure that super tarnished braided ring is James Avery, I’ve sold two of the exact style!

[@TexasGalTreasures]

I'll go check it closer. I loooooove JA

[@jackdoodles]

The 2 pairs of earrings at 9:00 are both lever backs....make sure you say lever in the listing. It’s the only type I can wear and I don’t see them often!

[@daltonkirstine]

"Sassy Tassels" I'm laughing so hard right now. You do brighten my day :)

[@terryfrangquist9930]

Hi Margaret, I want to know if you can do a video on how to change watch batteries? Also what book do u use to identify different types of polished stones. I know u use a gem tester for fine gems.. But I'm talking polished semi precious rocks! Very Nice Video Margaret you always do a really job at your presentation and content! Stay Well and Be Blessed!

[@TexasGalTreasures]

Great suggestion! Let me see what I can do

[@mimilee4890]

18:40 I get that all the time. They're silver-plated chains from China, especially those with lobster clasps.

[@0230Raveena]

Margaret, to put the stone in with the glue, use a tweezer. it works great

[@marias.594]

Just found you yesterday and am glad I did! I am a jeweler and collector of vintage jewelry, but I also sell vintage items online. I don't usually buy lots I'm a yard sale, thrift shop kinda girl, But your videos are so much fun! As for video ideas 1. Show how you research out your pieces. 2. Show us a photo shoot ( how you take pictures to list). 3. How you clean and repair. 4. How you decide what goes in lots and maybe show some of those lots 5. Your organization system/ where you sell and maybe a tutorial on how to do what you do

[@danielleormand3803]

YES! That is the type of info. I try to find in this type of video. Teaching and entertaining together are always the highest rated videos. Thanks. PS- Your personality is great for videos.

[@danielleormand3803]

@Maria Rosa

[@nancymanuel8536]

Lady you are a nut You had me absolutely rolling around laughing about that ladder necklace hysterical😂😄

[@conniebentley9699]

Fingernail glue for gluing stones. It dries clear and is strong.

[@TJ-mu6ud]

What an amazing jewelry lot! I am absolutely IN LOVE with the little silver deer pin!!! There are so many beautiful things in this lot!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@foxandkatkitsch]

Lolling at the sassy tassels and the stairway to heaven

[@fascination2525]

I agree. Feathers are icky, but all that hair in the box was just nasty, LOL! At 14:10, the center of that pin looks a little like a sand dollar, but I can't see it very well on my little cell phone. 14:55 -Maltese cross.

[@foxandkatkitsch]

fascination2525 I thought so too! (sand dollar)

[@RamshackleEmpire]

How about another video on how you photograph?

[@teresat5496]

Sometimes the rhodium is magnetic. The plating needs to be tested. There is sometimes a coating under the ”rhodium” used to make the coating stick...it can be nickel. Worth googling. Well done.

[@michelethirteenknots]

Video idea: more about what you do with valuable scraps/broken pieces. Loose gems? I know you have a “gold guy” but how did you set up that relationship? Have you had loose precious gems/diamonds and what do we do with them? (I actually have some)

[@danndeelion]

What kind of loose gems do you have? If they are decent quality they could bring in some good money for them. Were they from gold settings? If you want to sell them you need to know how to grade them properly though, especially diamonds.

[@DizzyAngie]

Booty heart 🤣🤣😭😭 hilarious!! I think that starfish necklace is coming from China! A lot of pieces marked 925 that are in fact not pure sterling come out of China. They're usually plated so by the time most people discover this they have shut down their online businesses and started a new one. It's crazy! Worst now with the popularity of Wish.com 😑

[@CuriosityRocks]

24:42 That sparkly cuff bracelet is amazing 😍😍😍

[@shelleylawrence6197]

Jewelry maker/repairer here. I would highly recommend e6000 glue to glue back in loose glass diamonds. What you said is perfect - using a toothpick to add a little bit of glue in the hole, and reattach the diamond. If you can’t find the diamonds, you can always order some replacement cz round loose gems. If you ever have any jewelry repair questions, feel free to hit me up! I’m always happy to help! :)

[@debinorman]

Do you mind providing the name of the website you use to date jewelry. Thank you for all the information and entertainment you provide. 😀

[@wellness2holisticliving4u]

That was a great box. I love how you talk to the pieces of jewelry. Fun!

[@anniemarshall6448]

dreamcatcher earrings r the best and the hardest to weave bonus turquoise beads in the center.

[@marthariddlegarcia2991]

The pendant at 18:05 reminds me of a Christmas wreath. The bracelet at 22:10, I would take the medallion off of it. Then it would be lighter and imp would be cuter.

[@jacquelynconant3926]

The boot is aBIBs boot...beauties in boots. I had one but chain broke

[@thegingerwitch322]

I love that glass heart - I would definitely put it on a different chain and sell it. I think the blue enamel circles would sell - coming up to weddings they might be ideal for someone looking for a subtle earring to match their dress

[@juli-fabricandtreasures3642]

Please share the site you are referring to when you talk about the deer pin. I would love to learn more about dating jewelry.

[@Zelma406]

35:18 they have 2 different hooks on them.

[@SoulfulVeg]

That caffeinated owl cracked me up. I want him!

[@vixistixi]

Video ideas...how you acid test gold....I really struggle with that! Show us what’s in your own jewellery collection 🤗. Maybe a house tour-I’m nosey 😂

[@heatherhuskey-pickngrin]

You are having too much fun in this video lol!! Sassy tassels and stairway to Heaven love it!!

[@marilynnhudson6533]

The boot could be used as a prayer necklace

[@debbiefreeman9481]

Bootie! Lolol. Like the rhinestone/blue necklace. We have an antique one, all rhinestones, my Dad brought back from Germany for his Mother. 2 nieces (sisters) wore it in their weddings. The person had long hair that hangs in the front getting caught in that necklace. lol. Ouch! Love the owl!!! I finally bought an Avon owl on sale I’d been wanting, then I gave it away. Lol. We’ll go with the locket of hair lol cute boot!

[@karencurry6777]

I think it would be great to see a “what wonderful things are people in this area are doing to help out the Corona crisis”. I always love those feel good kind of stories

[@luizadacosta5521]

How do you straighten out Bracelets? I like to see a video on that.

[@Imjessicabrooks]

I would love to see a few process videos! Ex: 1) on how you do take inventory? Do you use an inventory system? 2)For unboxing like this, what is your process after it hits the sale pile vs lot pile- i.e. how do you sort, clean, etc. ? 3) also I would love to know how you store and find items once they have sold? i.e. how do you label and store them in your house kind of thing? do you use bin numbers or a specific room?

[@annesofiestisen239]

id like a video on mistakes to avoid when shopping used/2nd hand jewelry

[@TexasGalTreasures]

Great idea!

[@CreativeCrafticality]

Oh my goodness that ladder necklace! 😂 I showed my husband, he had a good laugh too. 😂🤣😂

[@samanthajo491]

@7:30 🤣🤣🤣🤣🙈🤣. @8:22 I say give those earrings a try. The simple but elegant concept is cute. @12:46 Great find!!! @36:23 I don’t know...wouldn’t the drugs come out at the bottoms while wearing it? LOL. Another great video and haul! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. ❤️

[@ThriftingAdventures]

There were some fun pieces in that mystery box. The plunder necklace was cute.

[@meljstephan]

These videos are seriously my new addiction and really help my anxiety, which has been bad recently.

[@christinedean9021]

Gotta love the commentary and songs .

[@ShannaFae2023]

You absolutely got a few snorts out of me tonight lol, I needed that👍

[@azuradawn9348]

18:57 that happens to me as well but when i ask the jeweler it comes out a possitively silver... ive heared someone say some pieces can be attracted to magnet but wont attach to it completely.. im comfused too..

[@reneeschnepp6040]

I'm not fond of feathers or tassels either. I never put them with my sell items. They either hit the trash or go into batch bags.

[@danndeelion]

Everyone knows THAT woman who wears those feather earrings.

[@brendagabel5995]

I just love your sense of humor. You crack me up. Thank you, I needed that today.

[@TexasGalTreasures]

Thank you!!

[@greenboots57]

Great video, as always. Video suggestion on jewelry materials e.g. types of beads, stones or gems.

[@kailanwilson9751]

I love the necklace in this video at 17:25 and I look at your eBay but couldn’t find it.

[@TexasGalTreasures]

I haven’t listed it yet. If you’re interested send me an email at [e-mail] 😊

[@kimjohnson4023]

Yes hearts are in have a heart i i love hearts i collect they never go out of fashion

[@supergirlsadventure6700]

You’re hilarious! Great video!!

[@luizadacosta5521]

This is what I came to say 😁🤣

[@harleykittin5232]

I got some ideas for videos. How did you get started. What is your favorite find from the goodwill bins, or thred up. Etc. That could be several different videos based on the store you got them from. How about a video on some of the jewelry you got from a box that you just couldn't part with. A video start to finish for an item. where you got it, how much it cost, taking the photos and listing then how much it sold for. I'm sure you done these before but you can always do New ones.

[@foxandkatkitsch]

harley kittin I like the idea of favourite finds and things you (Margaret)couldn’t part with. Also I miss the snack box unboxing (not sure if you still get those)

[@TexasGalTreasures]

Thanks for the idea!

[@samanthajo491]

@10:06 I’m making a separate comment specifically for this same question! Is it possible and if so then how?

[@Robotneonunicorn]

Samantha Jo it depends on the settings. If the gems are originally just placed in a divot and glued then E6000 is fine. If they’re set anyway else it might be difficult to get it to sit right.

[@kimberlyslife4405]

I don't know if you'll read this but the boot might be for military spouses and the pop off sole could be for a note that he writes her

[@anniemarshall6448]

i love the pearl chain pull through earrings 😻

[@mollyclontz5090]

Imetty sure I saw a mark on the starfish and the silver ring looks just like one I have from James Avery.

[@consideritalljoy5154]

So much good stuff! Really, such a great box! Those moonstone at the end probably my favorite! But so much was desirable!!

[@KatsAlluringTreasures]

Love your vids. I don't wear jewery and started buying to sell jewelry because of what I have learned from you. Thank you!

[@KatsAlluringTreasures]

Plus feel free to not spead it up but do a long vid going through it all with us 😁

[@danieljones5217]

Keep calm Mommy dearest I'm still scarred from that movie 😖

[@nativejediprincess2133]

Video idea: update us on your test pile.

[@TexasGalTreasures]

Great idea!! Thank you!

[@shilohb392]

Omg I love the deer broach!

[@sharlenetarula3609]

That happened to me too. When necklace says 925 but magnet picks it up

[@joycenagy3140]

At 25:23 braclet screamed Renisaunnse Fair.

[@vickihenderson6194]

HyYou could do a video on how best to clean jewelry and all the different metals and beads. Also, a suggestion on how to identify the different stones ... was there a book? Thx.

[@cynthiajarratt4426]

I’m new, how do you search on ThreadUp for these box’s of jewelry?

[@TexasGalTreasures]

They are unavailable.

[@SocialStudiesMane]

Wonderful variety of goodies ✨

[@genac4561]

JOIDART is a decent brand. It can result anywhere fro $15-150 or more. I know you want to keep them but I would definitely research. I found a bracelet at a garage sale for $5 and sold it for a best offer of $68 plus buyer pays shipping. I had it listed for $75

[@ltwinkiec3172]

Omg!😄 you are having a good day today, Sassy tassels🤣👏👏👏👏

[@catherinethompson2525]

Love moonstone earrings

[@emilysavino1530]

Great box! Thanks for sharing!

[@michelewright9090]

Chesty girl problems, I hear ya! I think your commentary reflects how we’re all doing these days...a touch of crazy, mixed in with sassy-tassel, lol! Love your channel. It keeps my spirits up. Happy Easter!

[@evcotter08]

That wax seal letter C is one of my favourite things I’ve ever seen on your channel. I’d love to buy it if you’re wanting to sell

[@spiralgoddess2399]

925 is 92.5% silver --- sterling silver.

[@foxandkatkitsch]

You got some amazing stuff! Darn this quarantine. Shipping to Canada is crazy. I normally would ship to my US post office but I can’t cross the border right now

[@trishharrison4605]

And shipping in Canada is crazy. When I lived in California I shipped books for media rates around $3.00. Some thing within Canada can cost over $20.

[@sarahj.8372]

Sweet one and always fun with you..Happy Easter.

[@kellyemerton3585]

Plunder is a catalog jewelry Company Kinda like Premier jewelry. They do a lot of personalized stuff. They do have a following.

[@jacquelynconant3926]

How did you get a bag of jewelry like that? My boyfriends young daughter wants to do one once to see if she has fun with it.

[@lovethelordjesuspraisethel3286]

Have you heard of a Tribunal chief maybe but had 980 RAH or a B and other marketing on back a brooch or pin with a loop cut out on back Front the chief? Cut and designed with Abalone filles the areas not metal almost triangle but rounded on one side..?? What is 980??

[@Aliceops]

relaxing to watch your videos.Always fun to see what you like and don't like. Thanks:)

[@utubernan1223]

That you should care for me. Love that song. I love Diana Krall’s version.

How much for the moonstone earings???
